|
| Function |
Cell surface protein involved in cell-cell-interactions via its interactions with neurexin family members. Plays a role in synapse function and synaptic signal transmission, and may mediate its effects by clustering other synaptic proteins. May promote the initial formation of synapses, but is not essential for this. May also play a role in glia-glia or glia-neuron interactions in the developing peripheral nervous system (By similarity). {ECO:0000250}.
|
| Subcellular Location |
Cell membrane {ECO:0000250}; Single-pass type I membrane protein {ECO:0000250}. Cell junction, synapse {ECO:0000250}. Note=Detected at both glutamatergic and GABAergic synapses. {ECO:0000250}.
|
| Tissue Specificity |
Expressed in the blood vessel walls (at protein level). Detected in throughout the brain and in spinal cord. Detected in brain, and at lower levels in pancreas islet beta cells. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:10767552, ECO:0000269|PubMed:18755801, ECO:0000269|PubMed:19926856}.
